Problem with big size hdd via USB under WinXP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I've looked around the net for solutions. Updated to SP2 and did the regedit
stuff but my notebook still don't see the external hdd completely. I have
the drive partitioned into two, one is about 16GB(E and the other is
169GB(F. It can see both drive there but only E: is accessable. When I
clicked on F, it'd tell me I need to format it while it's already is
formated as NTFS and I got some data backuped there from my desktop. So what
could be the problem? I thought USB is even easier to get it working over
137GB limit?

From MS site:
Q: Does usbstor.sys need to be modified to support disks over 137 GB in
size?
No. Support for disks that are larger than 137 GB is not an issue for the
USB mass storage class driver. However, such support is an issue with the
USB-ATA bridge chip in the external USB storage device.

USB-ATA bridge chip vendors are working on new devices that support the
48-bit ATA LBA mode. When these devices are available, the storage limit on
a single device should be 2048 GB.

The chipset my enclosure uses is Philips ISD300A USB2.0 if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
